YES!!!!!!! This is great news! - Many fans, I included, had this wish: Nocon Kid to join the Shenmue 3 development team, and now it is a reality. Yu knows what he's doing. - Congratulations Noconkid!!!

Congratulations to Kid Nacon for becoming part of Shenmue 3's development team! All of the work he did on his fanmade Shenmue projects resonated with passion. Shenmue 3 is going to benefit greatly from his dedication and love of the franchise.

it must be a surreal experience for him, being such a big fan and now actually working on the title he desired for so long. surreal to be seeing and workign with yu suzuki everyday and getting all the inner circle info. i hope this means that the environments of s3 will be up to the standard of those niconkid demo videos. such great news.

Focusing on the need expressed by both Yu Suzuki and the fans for Sega to re-release Shenmue 1 & 2 ahead of Shenmue 3's launch, the Tweetathon lasts all day on the 3rd of each month using the new hashtag, and includes a mass simultaneous AutoTweet of messages stored in advance at TeamYu.net/shenmue, where you can learn more about the campaign.

after viewing his work, im comfortable with him being on the team! Its also nice to see they are bringing in fan talent, the behind the scenes story lines are even gonna be rich, this means so much than being just a video game for so many people. Im liking how it is still bringing people together in ways that no one ever thought possible, do you think that 6 months ago Nocon had any idea he would be working on Shenmue 3 come october? Wow... I'd be blown away.
